When you save in photoshop, make sure to at least select 5 on the compression scale. Anything less makes the photos less impressive.

I had to compress it to 2 to get it to the right file size. Usually at 5 it's still a bit too big! The pic I posted here looks like it's got some nice CA :mad:

If you can post your images to your own gallery and then link to here (rather than attaching), you can have images files that are large enough to preserve good image quality. In Photoshop, I don't like going below quality 8 (or 7 at a pinch) when saving as JPEGs. JPEG Artifacts are just too obvious at lower qualities. I will go to 9 or 10 if the image doesn't have a lot of detail and the file size loks like it will end up less than 200kB for an 800px image (sometimes a bit over).

You need to link to a .jpg address instead of the .html web page address. I hope that helps.

That does help...I couldn't find that in the posting rules. Thanks for you help JDUPhoto, much appreciated! Looks like I'll have to link from my own personal storage...

You won't be able to link to the image on your PC. Hopefully fotopic.net supports direct linking, so give that another try.

This is the link you tried for the image (with the img tags around it):
http://mortenson.fotop​ic.net/p17719253.html (external link)

If you include it just as a link rather than with the img tags around it, people can follow that link to see your image in your gallery. I'm not familiar with how fotopic.net lets you link to the image as a JPEG image, so I don't know what to suggest about providing the .jpg link enclosed by img tags to appear in these forum posts.

BTW, your gallery background is way too bright and busy and detracts from the images you're trying to show. That background 'thumbnail' is a great image, just not suitable as a background for showing off your other images.
